Enclosure

So I have a six month old veiled that I bought a 24x24x48 screen cage for and need help keeping the humidity about 30%. Any suggestions to keep the temp/humidity in a safe range?

Most people will take a shower curtain liner and wrap it around 3 sides of the cage.

I work a second job a a pet store but we don't really specialise in the chameleon field of reptiles. However my boss said putting Saran Wrap around the sides keeping the top and front open may work...

Also I've come up against another issue. It's snowing in Ohio and I can't seem to find safe plants for the cage

I got all fancy and got the aquarium decor static cling, for backgrounds. I used STRONG magnets on the outside and inside to hold the static cling to the wire mesh. It's more expensive that a shower curtain liner, but it helps to darken his cage down at night and hold in humidity.

I bought a reptimist system for it but I doesn't seem to want to spay at the right time. Is that what the hygrometer is for?

If you want a good auto mist system, I recommend the Mistking or the aquazamp.

I dont have any info about the aquazamp, but i hear its a good product for the money.

I use the mist king system, and its the best thing i ever bought for my chameleons.

I'm sorry, it's the ReptiRain system.

With the cage size I have now I want to put another female and male in it. Is that ok to do? I've read that they're solitary animals, but is my cage big enough to have a couple more in it?

NO.
its not big enoguh for anything but one adult chameloen.
it may be big enough right now, but once yur cham is an adult, im assuming its a male, you cant house them together.

Chams are always solitary creatures, and can never live with others in cages.

The only species that can are pygmies.
